I also agree with this.     I have been running lists since 1994 and BBS
message boards before that.    You will be able to remove the approval
mechanism if you do limit to just users.  One thing you might look at is
www.lsoft.com they have a list hosting service that is fantastic as well
as having software that is fantastic.   Unfortunantely it is not free,
however I'm quite sure that there are costs associated already with
running CWOP.   If you host the list on your own hardware I would guess
it is pretty reasonably priced.   If you need help financing such a
project,  I'm sure most of us on this list would be willing to pitch in
and help a bit. 

I'm on a couple of Listserv hosted lists and I don't think I have ever
gotten a spam that was sent through the list. 

Thanks

I'd recommend that you limit postings to list subscribers.
